We told you back on November 1st 2000 ("Canon working on digital camera/bubblejet combo!") about an unusual concept digital camera that Canon was working on, which featured a built-in bubblejet printer, and the folks at LetsGoDigital.nl have today posted a number of photos of the device. The camera, which takes cartridges containing ink and 20 sheets of roughly credit-card sized paper, features USB connectivity and CompactFlash storage. Let'sGoDigital, who have several photos of the camera from different angles, noted the following new details... The camera features a 2x optical zoom lens, which covers 5.4 - 10.8mm f/2.8 - f/4.0. The camera will apparently feature at least a 1.3 megapixel CCD. It isn't clear at this time if it will ever be available to purchase, or if it is merely a proof of concept... Thanks to LetsGoDigital.nl for giving us permission to use their image of the Canon prototype in the headline of this news item!
